Decking and pergola idea
Hi, I need help with our small back garden. I want to replace pavers with composite decking but not sure what to do with the existing clotheline, heater and air condition on top of the existing deck. I am not sure too if the 90cm gap from the fence applies if it is not a raised decking. Can you please help me designing with our very small back garden? I want a pergola where I can setup the existing lounge, bbq and a decking. Thank you

Comments (1)Looks like the palm tree look is working so I would blend that with some succulents maybe agave which can grow large and make great statement plants. Also stick with the stones....See MoreIdeas for outdoor area
Comments (5)I am not sure you need to add a deck or raised paving, when there is a usable surface there already. You will have gained a closer connection to the living area, but you will be more exposed, both to neighbours and to the wind, for a significant cost. Raising the fence may break height restrictions, as mentioned, and will also really box you in visually, especially with overhead louvres. Those may feel too low over a raised area if at eave height, and if higher could look awkward against the house. The fence already shades the area alongside it, so I wouldn't extend any further shading right out to the fenceline. I would consider a shade sail before louvres, both for cost and for a lighter, less boxed in appearance. Is there access to bring in a large tree? A good sized deciduous tree positioned near the fence at the edge of the lawn may be a good way to get some attractive summer shade, autumn colour, added privacy and may be cheaper than a set of movable louvres! Below the new doors from the living area, create wide steps These could wrap around to meet the existing steps. Wide steps can become a casual seating area as well as create a connection to the existing paving, and they are less of a barrier visually than a small set of steps. They could incorporate a planter, which will help to soften an otherwise quite hard outdoor space. This would also allow the lawn to remain connected with the paved area, making it feel larger....See Morefront door colour, deck and. wooden horizontal slats to cover bricks
Comments (4)It's not showing in the Ozzie forum. You need to change your country to oz, then start a new thread, with the photos and post it. If you go to the Ozzie forum, you won't be able to find it. So what I think you have done, is just change your setting...but you need to post fresh I am afraid! So you will have two posts, one in NZ forum and one in oz...but the Ozzie peeps will only see your oz one, so don't mention posting previously Keep that between us. :)...See MoreAny ideas for Reconfiguring Greatly Appreciated Please!
Comments (6)Hi Daryl, it sounds like you've got a lot of work cut out for you, but congratulations on buying your forever home! Regarding the kitchen, have a look at Blum's ideas for practical kitchens. There you'll find different layout ideas, storage solutions and inspirational ideas which will help with making use of the space available to you, without having to expand over the deck. Good luck with your renovations!...See MoreCat Ver

3 years agoInstead of doing all decking you could create an area using existing pavers and combine that with decking for a very stylish look, a covered pergola for your outdoor furniture, using a tinted laser lite, then use screens to hide the water heater and air conditioner, remove the reed screen on fence and paint it a charcoal colour so that it disappears into the background

3 years agoYour existing pavers look pretty good, you can always remove a few and replace with pebbles or mondo grass for interest, a decked area for your pergola gives you another room, add lush plants, could look gorgeous, you may not want to go inside.
